The Singing Scoutmaster: Last Farewell

There's a Cship lies rigged and Gready in the Charbor G

CTomorrow for old C7England she Fsails

Far a-Dmway from your Fland of endless Dmsunshine F

To my Dmland full of Frainy skies and Ggales

And CI shall be a-Gboard that ship to-Cmorrow G

CThough my heart is full of C7tears at this fare-Fwell

DmFor Gyou are Cbeauti-Amful

and I Dmhave loved you G7dearly

More Dmdearly than the G7spoken word can Ctell

DmFor Gyou are Cbeauti-Amful

and I Dmhave loved you G7dearly

More Dmdearly than the G7spoken word can Ctell

I Cheard there's a Gwicked war a Cblazing G

And the Ctaste of war I C7know so very Fwell

Even Dmnow I see the Fforeign flag a Dmraising F

Their Dmguns on fire Fas we sail into Ghell

I Chave no fear of Gdeath it brings no Csorrow G

CBut how bitter, will be this C7last fare-Fwell

Though Cdeath and darkness Ggather all a-Cbout me G

And my Cship be torn a-C7part upon the Fsea

I shall Dmsmell again the Ffragrance of these Dmislands F

In the Dmheaving waves that Fbrought me once to Gthee

And Cshould I return safe Ghome again to CEngland G

CI shall watch the English C7mist roll through the Fdale

DmFor Gyou are Cbeauti-Amful and I Dmhave loved you G7dearly

More Dmdearly than the G7spoken word can Ctell

DmFor Gyou are Cbeauti-Amful and I Dmhave loved you G7dearly

More Dmdearly than the G7spoken word can Ctell
